MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE. The season has ARRIVED. This week the weather has been Idaho-like. Not ONE day was above 30 degrees. Holy cow it was cold haha. We got home one night and it was literally 9 degrees. SO I've been wearing lots of warm clothing this week. Also smartphones are coming the next few weeks WOOHOO.

Not too much happened this last week. We have a BUNCH of things planned for this week though! Many Christmas parties (which I got asked to sing at), Christmas Zone Conference (which I am singing at too), and I got invited to sing at a Bishopric party for one of the wards haha. So as you can tell I have been singing A LOT. I'll send a video if I can get one. A lot of the members know me as the "piano man" or "singer missionary". I like it haha. My piano "skills" have really improved as well! I can play lots of songs now and sing with them now. 

Man everyday I think of how blessed I am to be on my mission and have the knowledge that we have. A loving Heavenly Father who sent His son to atone and suffer for us. A loving Heavenly Father who sent us the gospel so we can return back to Him. I love this gospel so much. I love my Heavenly Father so much. I love my mission. Yes it is really hard some days, but it truly is the hardest thing I have ever loved to do. 

I love you all! Write me! Send me Frank and Buck ties (non-floral) PLEASE. Haha, talk to you later!!!
